Re: MLB.com classics channel on YouTube.

Watching this game brought back fond memories for me. There were eight future Hall of Famers in this game, not counting one of the coaches and the two announcers. The mannerisms of the players, how they stood in the batters box and threw the ball all came back to me from watching them play so many times on TV. I totally enjoyed this!

What struck me was how the batters set up in the batters box. They all were even with the plate. Now most batters set up behind the plate or at the very rear edge of the batter's box. Even Yogi when he was catching was closer to the plate than most catchers are now.

Re: MLB.com classics channel on YouTube.

Seeing the old Stadium rock for those 1996-2003 games like it never will again makes me happy and sad at the same time. Happy for having been there to experience those historical moments, sad that they will never exist that way again in the new place. I almost teared up a little watching some moments from games I was fortunate enough to be there and experience in person. As nice as the new place is, it's sad to know those classic times are gone.
